Thanger and co.

I know you can get some good quality coat-hangers that are actually capable of holding a coat but that's beside the point. I was in my wardrobe the other day, look at all my hanging clothes, (which for me, the drawerless man), is basically everything except jocks 'n' socks. So as I asked this question, I thought "Hang on, stop! Other people use drawers, therefore only hanging coats", hence the name... But Alas no!

The vast majority of things on coathangers for a male, would be shirts! For a lass, dresses. So you prepare yourself. You think I'm going to ask, "Well why are they called coathangers?", I was going to, I woulda called them shirt-rods. Or dress-holder-upper-me-bobs. No no no no. The question, my not so avid reader who came here off a google image link by accident, (Yes I'm watching you I have everything about you motherfuckers), is is is is is... In the old days, men wore shirts a lot more than now. Coats were I assume, optional, (so left hanging), yet your vast majority of clothes would have been shirts and dress pants.

So how did the old motherfuuckers store 'em?


Obviously not on hangers!

Blue On Black

No pictures. No shit. This question is for me. The song Blue On Black by the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band is sung by who. The internet answers Kenny Wayne. This is wrong. Kenny does the lead guitar and backing vocals on chorus. Anyone know the name of the actual singer??

extraordinary

English is a language with an extraordinary amount of silly things, and oxymoronic words and phrases.

So... As we define extraordinary, we get

  • beyond what is ordinary or usual; highly unusual or exceptional or remarkable;
  • far more than usual or expected;

As you can see, it's made of two words, extra and ordinary.

So *wikka wikka break it down now*

Extra:
  • excess: more than is needed, desired, or required;
  • further or added;
  • unusually or exceptionally;
  • something additional of the same kind;



Then we come to Ordinary:
  • not exceptional in any way especially in quality or ability or size or degree;
  • average: lacking special distinction, rank, or status; commonly encountered;
So..... extraordinary means something unsual.... but if you used it as two words, it would mean an excess amount of ordinary things, or something so ordinary it's not even funny, but it doesn't.

In context, I find this an extraordinary lack of thought to whoever the dimwit was the inventionamised this stupid fucking word. Americans, save us with your Americanisms.... May the ax break you out of jail while those who love their old school Enklish (sic) catch some Zeeeeeeeeeee's.
